    Unusual flavour but good consistency

    Slightly bitter flavour, but consistency is easy to take whilst running

    Punchy cherry fuel

    Love this, tart cherry and a natural caffeine hit.

    Used for a few marathons and in training. No gut issues.

    So useful

    Small volume but big energy hit, tasty and a useful item for the longer rides and when eating larger items is difficult.
